There are many reasons for amputation that may be someone else’s fault

If you’ve had an amputation and assumed that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it, we urge you to reconsider your position. Though the following are some of the most common causes of amputations that someone else may be liable for, it’s not an exhaustive list:

  • Electrocution injury
  • Train accident
  • An accident at a construction site
  • An accident at an amusement park

Again, these are not the only causes of injuries leading to amputations that my mean someone else is liable, but if you see the cause of your accident on this list then you should call us right away.

The accident doesn’t have to be 100% their fault

One of the biggest misconceptions about California personal injury cases is that the plaintiff must have been free of any blame and the defendant must have been 100% responsible. This is not the case. In the event that the plaintiff is 20% to blame then they can still be awarded compensation by the jury or judge, but that compensation amount will be reduced by that 20%. For more information, call 909-982-0707.
